      Difficulty swallowing meat and other solid foods, while liquids and soups are easier to consume, may indicate a swallowing disorder; please consult a healthcare professional for an evaluation. ❤️

    As an adult with a feeding tube I have not been able to find any support for my situation. I was hoping that you would have some sort of open discussion or blog between others. Most sites or support services are specifically designed for children or the caregivers of infants. I feel like an outcast and it’s hard to find any good resources.
    I am a 33 year old male who was diagnosed with drug resistant right temporal lobe epilepsy. Then recently I was diagnosed with a rare seizure genetic disorder called VPS13A. I have struggled with uncontrollable weight loss. I have been using a g tube for over 6 months and have been struggling to gain or maintain my weight .
    i am currently on a very vigorous diet and I’m not sure if I can continue to do it without results. I have a follow up with my doctor to discuss my options and I don’t know how to explain that I am exhausted..

    Hey. I have been over producing saliva which has made me swallow more than usual. To the point where I swallow like every sentence. I have felt some tightness around my heart at time and heart ache/pain. I have a ENT scan coming up recommend by my doctor as they suspect I have reflux. Thoughts ?
    I have also felt weirdness in my throat/neck in the past like it feels tight. Bit of a weird one to explain.

    • @MedicalCentric
      @MedicalCentric  6 дней назад +1

      @zpsl6215 Overproduction of saliva, frequent swallowing, and sensations of tightness in the throat and chest can indeed be associated with acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The reflux can irritate the throat and esophagus, causing tightness and discomfort. The upcoming ENT scan will be important for assessing these symptoms more accurately. Meanwhile, managing your diet, avoiding trigger foods, and staying upright after meals can help reduce symptoms. It's essential to follow up with your doctor and share any new or worsening symptoms for a comprehensive evaluation.

      @ Hi thanks for the response. Do you reckon I’d return to normal function with the correct treatment. If so what is the right treatment?
      I’ve had this issue before and it went away by itself. Not sure how, but it’s appeared again so I definitely haven’t tackled the root cause.
      How could I manage my diet. I eat quite cleanly, but if there is anything I could avoid in the meantime it would be great.

    I have difficulty swallowing for 2 months but the doctor said it's because of high blood pressure but now my BP is getting lower but still struggling to swallow I don't know what I can do

    • @MedicalCentric
      @MedicalCentric  Месяц назад

      @RuthMoyo-s2f If you're still experiencing difficulty swallowing despite your blood pressure improving, it’s important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation. Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) can be caused by a variety of issues, including throat or esophageal problems, nerve damage, or other conditions unrelated to blood pressure. A referral to a specialist, such as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat doctor) or a gastroenterologist, might be necessary to diagnose and treat the underlying cause effectively.

    I have difficulty swallowing foods but can drink water and other liquids, I think it’s because I use to eat foods while laying on my stomach a lot. The first time it happened was when I was laying down on my stomach while eating pizza, it didn’t feel like I was choking but I just couldn’t swallow the food and when that happens I sat up and tried to continue but it felt like I was finna throw up. Fast forward a few day I made nachos and while I was eating, all of a sudden I felt like I was about to choke while I was trying to swallow the food and I jumped up because I got so scared and didn’t know what was happening then I drunk water to make it go down then tried to eat another bite same thing happened and my heart was pounding and I was to scared to eat again so I put it away and said I’m going to try to eat again the next day. Now it has been about 4 or 5 days and I can only drink liquid and if I eat something like mash potatoes I have to eat baby bites and mix it with water to swallow it. I am 17 btw

      Sometimes at night it feels like there is a lump in my throat and when I lay down my neck has to be at an angle like laying on my back with my head proped up against pillows or on my side proped up against pillows for me to swallow my saliva and if I try to lay flat I can barely swallow. I think it’s probably anxiety whenever I have to swallow because when I wake up I can swallow all I want to but when I think about swallowing and try to swallow I sometimes can’t swallow

    • @MedicalCentric
      @MedicalCentric  2 месяца назад

      @Livvie64 I'm really sorry you're going through this-difficulty swallowing can be scary and uncomfortable, especially when it happens suddenly like that. What you're describing could be related to anxiety, muscle tightness, or possibly something called dysphagia, which is a condition that affects swallowing. It's important to talk to a healthcare provider as soon as possible to rule out any serious conditions and get the right treatment. In the meantime, try to eat softer foods and stay hydrated, but don't hesitate to seek medical help. You're not alone, and it's good that you're being proactive about your health.

      @TheVoyeure It sounds like you’re going through a really tough time with these side effects. Medications can affect everyone differently, and it’s frustrating when they bring more harm than help. It’s important to talk to your doctor about what you’re experiencing-they might be able to adjust your treatment or offer alternatives to help you feel better. Hang in there!

    I was having symptoms and them choked once hard and from that time I am slowly degraded into not eating anything , earlier it was hardy solid foods but now even liquids are getting difficult ,I done barium swallow test and it was okay in report, doctors suggesting me it can be acid reflux due to poor lifestyle ,should I be admitted to the hospital admin?

      @PrayashChowdhury-vb2lq It sounds like your condition is progressively worsening, especially if even liquids are difficult to swallow now. While acid reflux can cause these symptoms, your doctors may need to rule out other underlying issues. If you’re unable to eat or drink properly, hospital admission for further investigation and immediate care might be a wise step. Follow your doctor's advice closely.

      @Drawing.delight I'm sorry you're going through this! It sounds like you might be experiencing lingering effects from the infection, possibly combined with acid reflux (GERD). Acid reflux can cause a sensation of something stuck in the throat and difficulty swallowing. It's important to talk to a doctor to get proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and try not to eat before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux. Please see a healthcare professional soon to get the relief you need!

      @Divyavlogs2407 If you have difficulty swallowing pills, cutting the tablet in half can sometimes make it easier, but you need to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Some medications are designed to be swallowed whole due to special coatings or release mechanisms, and cutting them might affect how the medicine works. Alternatively, you can ask about liquid forms of the medication or methods to make swallowing easier, like using a pill-swallowing cup or mixing the pill with food (if allowed).
